NovelEnglishMrs. Woods had lost her appetite when she was informed of Lucas' return.
"That b*st*rd! Here I thought that he is a proud kid! He said that he would never forgive his father yesterday, and I thought he would never return. Who knew that he would not last one day before crawling back here? What a joke!" "Don't get mad, Mom. He's just an illegitimate child! Living in the South Block is already an insult, but he is probably foolish enough to think that it's a privilege! He is the type of person who knows no shame, and probably, does not have the wit to accomplish anything. He said that Dad begged him to chere. We don't have to stir up a conflict with him. At least, not on the surface," said Noah, the eldest son of the Woods family. "We shouldn't risk angering Dad over him." "You are right, Noah. Fighting with your dad won't change the fact that Lucas has beca member of this family. I will just hatch my plots in the dark, and soon, your dad will start to look down on him. That way, your dad won't entrust him with anything important." "I've already looked into his background and he was expelled for fighting," Noah said. "I am sure that Dad is not going to hand his money over to that thug as long as he is in the right mind." "Yeah. Focus on your job, Noah. Don't let him get to you." "I don't even see him as a competitor. I'll go over and pay him a visit later." After finishing his breakfast, Noah exited the main block and headed to the South Block.

As Noah walked out of the main block, he ran into Irene, who had clooking for Lucas.
He had always known that there was a horrendous-looking girl serving the mansion, but he had never paid her any attention since Irene stayed in the kitchen and out of their sight most of the time.
"Mr. Noah!" Recognizing Noah, Irene immediately bowed her head. "I'm here looking for Mr. Lucas. Has he cback?" "He's back, and I'm on my way to see him. Let's go there together." Noah stared at the side of Irene's face without the scar. His hands were in his pocket and he sighed. "You would have been a great beauty had it not been for that scar. What a shame!" Irene flushed, not knowing what to say in response.
"Has Lucas bullied you?" Noah asked. "If he had, you can tell the butler or my mom. You and your grandmother have worked in our house for a long time, so we won't stand idly by." Moved, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Noah! Mr. Lucas didn't bully me.' "Oh? He isn't disgusted by your scar?" She looked up to stare into Noah's eyes. "Mr. Lucas has never looked down on me." Disgusted by the sight of Irene's scar, Noah immediately looked away. "Let's go inside!" The two went into the South Block and saw Lucas, who had just finished his breakfast.
"Mr. Lucas, why didn't you tellthat you are coming back? I was so worried when I couldn't find you in the morning." Irene strode toward Lucas. "Who is he?" Lucas asked as he glared at Noah coldly.

"Hello, Lucas. I'm your older brother, Noah." Noah looked Lucas up and down. "I've been busy these past few days and haven't had the tto visit you. How's the injury on your face? Should we get you a doctor?" "I'm fine." Lucas tensed like a pufferfish faced with a threat. "You should go back to whatever you were busy with!" Noah chuckled, before pulling out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet. "My mom has poisoned your dog for the safety of us all. Here's a hundred. Take it. It's not much, but it should be more than what your dog was worth." Irene's respect for Noah instantly shattered, but to her bewilderment, Lucas accepted the money.
"Does he really think that's how much his dog was worth?" she thought to herself.
After Noah left, Irene muttered, "Mr. Lucas, you shouldn't h—" Before she could finish, Lucas scrunched up the dollar bill and tossed it into the trash can.
